Brief Answer:
Stop FINAX

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

It is not advisable to take Finax for extended periods.Hence, I advise you to stop it.

Do not apply MORR and Serum together.Their effect gets reduced.

Apply separately.

Yes, you can take andro anagen only.It can be a reasonable alternative for FINAX.

Finax should not be used for more than 3 months.

Thank you.

Can you ask someone else to take up my case.. Because the answer is not clear.. N the last statement "finax should not be taken for more than 3 months" is absurd. It is a tablet that should not be stopped once you start it. If you stop the tablet the hairs will again start falling because of increase in dht.
I should apply morr soln 2ml a day, and densuex 2ml. Not more than 1ml at a time. Your answer is not apply them together. I should apply one over the other, in morning n in at the night.
Not satisfied. You have not answered any of my question clearly..

Brief Answer:
FINAX is not used as a lifelong drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

Finax is an antiandrogen drug. If taken for more than 3 months many antiandrogenic side effects arise.

They can cause rebound hair loss, loss of sex drive and impotence.

No doctor prescribes finax for a lifetime period, especially in a youngster like you.

I think you are not aware of this fact.

For treating hair loss, FINAX can only be rescue drug but not a maintenance drug.

Hair serums are always applied separately after gentle hair wash.

Mixing Morr solution will only reduce the absorption of minoxidil, which is the active content. Hence, I advised you to apply each without mixing.

Morr is usually applied during the night and hair serum during the day.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Possible Androgenic alopecia

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

I apologise for the delayed response.

I have gone through the uploaded images as well.

They possibly represent Androgenic Alopecia aka Male pattern of baldness which we usually encounter.This is beginning to develop in your case.

Minoxidil and Finax will be of little help since they can cause rebound hair loss once stopped.

As of now you can use FINAX for 3months without much side effects.

Biotin tablets like XTRAGLOW can help to some extent by improving hair growth.

Please check with your physician if he can prescribe the same to you.

Hair transplantation will be a reasonable option.


I advise you to consult a Trichologist for the same.


Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
